Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

I've written a script for downloading live video after the live ending, and recently added the new parameter --wait-for-video 0.

Before starting the download, if the video has been set to Private video, it will keep retrying without access.

The behaviour I'd like is to stop retrying instead of keeping trying for a video that won't download.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
